Set Details

Revelation Dance gives Oricorio-E a powerful Electric-type attack that doubles as a stronger Tera Blast when it Terastallizes. Taunt instead lets it deny status and recovery from passive walls like Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Umbreon, giving Oricorio-E setup opportunities, as well as stuffing Encore attempts from Jirachi. Hurricane gives Oricorio-E a powerful but inaccurate STAB option, crucially landing a 2HKO on Cyclizar, while Air Slash is weaker but more accurate. Roost lets a boosted Oricorio-E heal off chip damage to prolong a sweep attempt. Maximum HP EVs let Oricorio-E make the most of its great defensive typing, while maximum Speed ensures it outruns all unboosted Pokemon after a Quiver Dance. Tera Ground gives Oricorio-E a resistance to Rock, letting it shrug off Rock-type attacks from Terrakion and Kleavor, while letting it hit walls like Hisuian Goodra and Rhyperior. Tera Steel gives it an all-around good defensive typing with a poison immunity, which lets it set up on and beat Fezandipiti. Tera Fairy lets it hit Dragon-types while giving it an immunity to Dragon Tail, turning Cyclizar and Noivern into setup fodder.
Oricorio-E fits best on offensive teams, being a great late-game cleaner with a tremendous defensive typing that punishes common revenge killers like Choice Scarf Jirachi and Galarian Zapdos. Oricorio-E struggles to break through special walls like Hisuian Goodra, Rhyperior, and Fezandipiti without Terastallization; thus, teammates that can take advantage of these walls, like Bisharp, Flygon, and Jirachi can dissuade these foes from freely switching in. While Oricorio-E has a great defensive typing, it only has middling bulk, so defensive teammates like Hippowdon, Registeel, and Chestnaught are helpful for it to fall back on against Lycanroc-D, Hisuian Goodra, and Rhyperior, respectively. The aforementioned teammates can set entry hazards to bolster Oricorio-E's damage, giving it an easier time sweeping. In return, Oricorio-E can use Taunt to deny potential Defog attempts from Galarian Weezing and Talonflame. Oricorio-E tends to struggle against opposing setup sweepers like Calm Mind Fezandipiti and Reuniclus without Terastallization and especially without Taunt, so it appreciates teammates that deal with these Pokemon such as Roar Empoleon and Encore Jirachi. Fellow setup sweepers like Maushold, Gyarados, and Armarouge can work alongside Oricorio-E to overwhelm the opposing team. Pokemon that share checks with Oricorio-E, such as the aforementioned Armarouge and Jirachi, also benefit from Oricorio-E softening up Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Umbreon, and vice versa. On bulky offense teams, Oricorio-E excels at using common offensive Pokemon like Slither Wing and Galarian Zapdos as setup fodder, which is helpful for teammates afraid of these Pokemon like Cyclizar and Empoleon. Healing Wish from Gardevoir and Jirachi can give Oricorio-E another chance at sweeping, even if it was at low health.
